Year long activity and collaboration

The 2019 #BalanceforBetter campaign runs all year long. It does not start or end on International Women's Day.

The campaign theme provides a unified direction to guide and galvanize continuous collective action,
with #BalanceforBetter activity reinforced and amplified all year.

Collectively we can all play a part

Collective action and shared responsibility for driving a gender-balanced world is key. International Women's Day is a global day
celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women - while also marking a call to action
for accelerating gender balance.

The first International Women's Day occurred in 1911, supported by over one million people.
Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific.

Gloria Steinem, world-renowned feminist, journalist and activist
once explained
"The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organisation but to the collective
efforts of all who care about human rights."

Motivate others

So put your hands out and STRIKE THE #BalanceforBetter POSE and make International Women's Day YOUR day - and do what you can
to truly make a positive difference for women everywhere.

International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The
day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

International Women's Day (IWD) has occurred for well over a century, with the
first​ ​IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. Prior to this the​ Socialist Party
of America, United Kingdom's Suffragists and Suffragettes, and further groups campaigned for women's equality.

Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific.​ Make IWD your day - everyday.
